The US unit, operating under Pentagon control with CIA assistance, specializes in slipping undetected into foreign countries to find, and if necessary disarm, nuclear weapons, the magazine reports… However US intelligence cannot be sure of the precise location of all of the Pakistani warheads, officials said.

That doesn’t sound terribly cheerful, does it?

A large part of ISI and the Pakistani military is in bed with the Islamists. A coup attempt is entirely possible. If such a thing is planned, it is absolutely certain that one of the first objectives – probably preceding any overt move – will be to grab the nukes, scatter them, and hide them. They know we’ll be coming for them, and they aren’t stupid.

Of course it’s possible that our intel people will be completely on the ball, and will know of any such activity well before it happens. It’s also possible that they won’t know.

I don’t like the situation there at all.
